Reasons to disagree More people die from alcohol than terrorism. 85,000 people die each year because of alcohol Link 5% of all deaths from diseases of the circulatory system are attributed to alcohol. 15% of all deaths from diseases of the respiratory system are attributed to alcohol. 30% of all deaths from accidents caused by fire and flames are attributed to alcohol. 30% of all accidental drownings are attributed to alcohol. 30% of all suicides are attributed to alcohol. 40% of all deaths due to accidental falls are attributed to alcohol. 45% of all deaths in automobile accidents are attributed to alcohol. 60% of all homicides are attributed to alcohol. 100,000 deaths. That's more than a statistic. That is 100,000 individuals with faces. 100,000 individuals with lives not fully lived. 100,000 individuals grieved by mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and children. Every year. An aggressive China that is willing to kill thousands of people in order to expand, woul...

4.      False. Obama turns 47 on August 4, and if elected would be the 5th youngest person to be president. In fact he will be over 4 years older than Teddy Roosevelt was when he was sworn in after McKinley's assassination, and older than JFK, Clinton, and Grant were when elected. Where are you getting your facts? Obama would be tied for the 2nd youngest person to be elected president. Reasons to agree Teddy Roosevelt is the youngest person ever to become President, but he became President at age 42 after the assassination of President McKinley . He was not elected president. People never said, we are comfortable with someone this young being president. JFK was 44. Clinton was 47. Obama would be 47. Teddy Roosevelt, JFK, and Clinton were more experienced than Obama. Reasons to agree Harry Truman was right when he said that JFK was too young . Barak's only jobs before becoming elected to the senate were an associate attorney for 3 years, a...

Obama quotes JFK that we should never negotiate out of fear, but that we should never fear to negotiate. He then says that he would have one on one meetings with the president of Iran. Like a lot of things Barak says, this is very idealist and naïve. It is not fear that keeps us from negotiating with the president of Iran, but honor. The president of Iran kills intellectuals, tortures political opponents, crushes anyone who writes something in a newspaper or blog that is seen as criticizing him.   You don't sit down for a photo-opportunity and coffee with THE GUY who supports Hezbollah, funds insurgents in Iraq, denies the old holocaust, but promises a brand new holocaust.   It is honor for the dead that he has killed and wants to kill that keeps us from speaking to the president of Iran. It is respect for the political prisoners that have been silenced that keeps us from having a photo-op with the president of Iran. It is respect for a free press that keeps us from having...

A Super Day for Mitt

The brilliant Michael Ramirez .

California is going for Mitt---come on Illinois!! The Trend is Real: Conservatives Rally

Today, Romney for President launched its newest web ad, "Very Close." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usBERI87bBA In 2008, the Republican Party needs a nominee who can debate Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) on the important issues confronting our nation today.  "Very Close" highlights how Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Clinton actually agree on more issues than not.  We need "a full-spectrum conservative" like Governor Mitt Romney who can provide a clear conservative contrast with Sen. Clinton. Script For "Very Close" (WEB:30): ANNOUNCER:  "Is John McCain really the heart and soul of the Republican Party? "Imagine a debate between McCain and Hillary Clinton. "On amnesty for illegal immigrants, they agree. "On voting against President Bush's tax cuts, they agree. "On imposing an additional 50 cents a gallon cost on gasoline, they agree. "On blocking conservative judges, they agree. "Even Bill Clin...

FredHeads for Romney

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/02/019710.php One excerpt: But voting on the basis of electability is often a fool's errand. Right now, Romney looks like a long-shot in November. He should be an attractive candidate -- smart, knowledgeable, good looking, extremely articulate -- but he's run into voter resistance even among conservatives because of his flip-flops, possibly his religion, and a general failure to connect. If he overcomes these problems and defeats McCain the rest of the way, then he'll have done enough to establish his potential electability to my satisfaction. If he doesn't, the issue will be moot. Meanwhile, Republicans should not take too much comfort from McCain's performance in polls against Clinton and Obama this far from November. The McCain I saw in the California debate last week didn't look particularly electable. With the economy emerging as the overwhelmingly central issue in the campaign, with McCain's nasty streak in...

Romney Rally in Illinois!

Did you guys catch the Townhall blog about this, by Novak?   http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/RobertDNovak/2008/02/02/bush_against_romney  This is something we need to push far and wide.  Bush says he isn't happy with Romney because he's too tough on the border.  One of the commentors at Michelle Malkin's blog said that Romney should say this in response: "I found out today that President Bush may not support my candidacy, and the reason specifically is because I don't share his liberal views on immigration amnesty. He wants to make it easy on illegal immigrants to stay in the this country, as does Senator McCain who proved it with his amnesty bill in the senate, and I'm a strict reconstructionist on the issue of this country's sovereignty and right to keep its borders secure." This would be huge if we could get this out.  For people who hate the illegal immigration plan that Bush, McCain, and Kennedy tried to shove down ou...
